I know next to nothing about NetWare, other than the NetWare clients
we back up view NetWorker are a thorn in my side.

Are you sure that `0xfffdffba' is an error code?  Based on the message
that's being spit out, it looks more like one of those internal host ids
(I think they're IPX/SPX related, but I don't know -- like I said I don't
do NetWare).  Do you have some system that has an IPX/SPX host id that
matches that?

FYI, our NetWare guys had some problems with the client under NetWare 6.x
*until* they set an IPX/SPX id, similar to the hex number shown above.
Even though 6.x can do IP internally, the Legato client (and some other
software they loaded, I think it was a virus checker) had problems until
that IPX/SPX thing was set.
